As health and safety standards in mining and related industries become increasingly stringent, heavy equipment manufacturer Dezzi Equipment is ensuring compliance by equipping its machines with customised HVAC systems from Booyco Engineering – engineered to meet the demanding requirements of end-users.
According to Gordon Postma, Sales Manager at Booyco Engineering, the two South African companies have collaborated since 2023 to develop bespoke HVAC solutions tailored to Dezzi Equipment’s customer needs. Operating from a factory in Port Shepstone with over 120 employees, Dezzi Equipment manufactures mobile machinery for the sugar, forestry, construction and mining sectors. The company supports its equipment through 20 branches across South Africa and a network of dealers throughout Africa.
With over 40 years of experience in specialised HVAC systems for mobile applications, Booyco Engineering customises its standard units to meet the specific requirements of individual customers and operating conditions.
“Dezzi Equipment was seeking a reliable local supplier with both design and manufacturing capabilities to deliver a bespoke rooftop HVAC system capable of withstanding the harsh conditions on their customers’ work sites,” says Postma. “The systems we supplied were engineered to perform in extremely hot environments with high dust levels, while also offering resistance to vibration and protection against debris that could cause damage.”
